How to Recover Deleted Photos / Videos on iPhone

Having a smartphone with a satisfying camera makes our experience when capturing moments and places even more enjoyable. Sometime we can take hundreds of photos within a week. There’re some people who don’t have time or that are too lazy to back up those photos/videos to other media. Instead of performing the backup of their photos/video, they simply delete some. Sometimes, we may delete some photos by accident. What can you do if you want to get those photos back? Is there something you can do?

On photos application for iOS 7 or later, there’s one album called Recently Deleted. You can find all photos which have been deleted manually on that album.

Photos/videos that you delete will stay in Recently Deleted album for 30 days before they are permanently deleted.
